so-soA memoir written in 1982 about screenwriting and movie production. A large chunk of it still feels very relevant (studios want to make sequels because they are a given and don't want to take risks - and nobody knows what movies the public will want), but a lot of the specifics are about movies I'm not familiar with or didn't like.
The section at the end about adapting his short story was interesting though I disagreed with him about a ton.
1. The Princess Bride. I love love love the movie, love the book, love Goldman's non-fiction about his work in Hollywood that talks about the creation (tagged), love everything.
2. I think, in the right hands, Hamnet would make a beautiful film.

One is a classic crime story of Hollywood and the other is a book ive retained in my collection because it was such a good tale of Hollywood and screenwriting.
NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING. Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what's going to work.
